Do you have too much to do and not enough time in the day to get it all done? I’m pretty sure this is universal feeling, well, maybe not universal. We all know that there are people out there who somehow found the 25th hour of the day. They’ve managed to focus long enough on… Continue Reading

Don’t Stop Believing
One of the biggest fears many of us have is the fear of making a decision. Of course, we have been taught all of our lives not make the wrong decision so it is natural that this seems to be a universal fear (Jeffers 101). After all, its been conditioned in us since youth (and… Continue Reading
Would you go to the prom with me?
Blogging about this book on fear has really caused me to focus on why we fear certain things. I think I came to a reasonable conclusion. When we confront a situation and we procrastinate, then the possibility of success remains within reach. Ever asked someone to prom? Or at least on a date? I often… Continue Reading

13th AAAE Annual Aviation Security Summit
In some sort of cosmic irony the nation’s aviation security leaders gathered just days after the shooting at Los Angeles international Airport to discuss the topics most important to them. The main topic of discussion however was not LAX. Its just too early. LAX will after-action this incident to the Nth degree and there… Continue Reading
